Call for applications

09 Oct 2014

Call for applications for dental practitioners to join the Dental Board of Australia's list of approved persons for appointment to panels.

The National Board is seeking applications from dental practitioners with general dental practice registration with a minimum of three years current and recent experience. The National Board is seeking applicants who preferably have teaching experience in dental or oral health programs of study and/or the development and delivery of continuing professional development programs. The National Board will consider applicants who do not have teaching experience. Applicants are being sought from practitioners who reside in the following states and territories:

• ACT
• Northern Territory
• Queensland
• South Australia
• Tasmania
• Victoria
• Western Australia

Recruitment, to the extent practicable, will exclude individuals whose residence or principal place of practice is in a co-regulatory jurisdiction (i.e. NSW).

Under the National Law , a National Board convenes health panels and performance and professional standards panels when required to hold hearings into specific health, performance or conduct matters for individual registered health professionals.

Such panels consist of members chosen from a National Board list of approved person for appointment to panels. Appointments to the list of approved persons for appointment to panels are for up to three years, with eligibility for re-appointment, and are expected to commence in early 2015.
